Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges of the sheet and the top and bottom edges are deckled. The sheet appears to have yellowed slightly with age and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. Under very close inspection, a minor 1-inch crease is visible just above the lower right corner. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte along the upper edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
